UFC strawweight Cynthia Calvillo has accepted a six-month USADA suspension after testing positive for marijuana.
USADA announced on Wednesday that Calvillo had tested positive for Carboxy-THC, a marijuana metabolite, coming from an in-competition test in relation to her fight at UFC 219 against Carla Esparza, in which she lost by unanimous decision.
Her suspension, which began on December 30th, can be reduced to three months if she completes a USADA-approved drug awareness and management program. Depending on whether Calvillo completes the program, she could be eligible to return to the Octagon as early as March 30th.
